Bubba was one of the most kind kids in the class of 1994. He really connected all of us. Rusty and I are heartbroken. Rusty and Ritchie were in the same class (91). We’ve all known each other since we could talk. Just isn’t fair.
Our hearts go out to Amy and Ritchie, and thank you Ray and Sandra. We know how much of your hearts are giving to him.
Bubba, you are my brother. We grew up wrestling and lifting weights and cracking endless jokes. You and Ray always bring out the best humor in me, like no one else. I don’t know of any time in our lives where we were indifferent with each other. You have always been a solid true human being to us all. We have all been stronger more confident people with you in your corner; hands down. Everything I ever wanted to try to achieve you fully encouraged and supported and gave much needed constructive criticism when needed. Breathe on us breath of God, fill us with Bubba’s spirit, and let him know how much we love him. Thank you old friend for being my friend. I’ll miss you buddy.
bubba was the best! to his friends and family, I am truly sorry to hear of his passing 😔 bubba was a wonderful person!
Our hearts go out to all who loved Bubba. The loss of such a kind and caring husband, dad, brother and friend is unbelievable.
Love,
Ray and Sandra Hambleton
Bubbas big bear hugs and smile was unforgettable. He spent many a days and nights at our house in their school years he was Allen best friend and predictor when we first mover to Concrete, last time I saw Bubba we were laughing about how he took Allen under his wing he said all the girls loved him and all the boys hated he I remember him laughing I will miss him. He told me I love you, you are like my second mom I’ll never forget that. love you Amy
Bubba, always had a big laugh and a big heart. Lots of mushroom hunting, fishing, and storytelling. I’ll miss your stories. Rest in peace friend.
Bubba- have known you for a long time. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family and friends in this difficult time.
Words cannot express how sadden I was to hear of Bubba’s unexpected passing. I remember the day he was born. I spent a lot of time with him and Richie in Newhalem when they were young as I was their caretaker for a few summers while their parents were working. I enjoyed seeing him at our annual KK reunion when he was able to make an appearance. I was excited as Bubba and I were supposed to share a campsite at this year’s reunion. It’s going to be difficult to be there knowing he won’t show up. My heart goes out to his family. Rest in peace Bubba 😢 Killowatt Kids forever…
You were loved by your precious wife Amy. All she spoke about at work everyday was you
I was honored to know you for a very short time.
Bubba was one of the best people I have ever known in my life. He made the best garlic rice on the planet. He always had a smile and a good heart. I feel honored to have had him in my life
